Matua Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Description

”How it tastes Refreshingly good! Thiis is classic Marlborough Sauvy, with bright aromatic herbal notes and a complete array of aromas the style is famous for. Think sage and freshmint, followed by delicious tropical fruits. This year, the palate has vibrant citrus and pineapple flavours with great length and structure. This is a real doozie.Cellaring At fridge temperature, for about 45 minutes.How we made it This is the wine our viticulture and winemaking teams get most excited about, it really showcases what the vintage has been like for Marlboroughs most famous varietal. We pick Sauvignon Blanc grapes from more than 100 different vineyards across Marlborough, encompassing all the sub-regions within the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. So, the wine is always the most complete expression of the Marlborough vintage. For 2014, selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc were separated from the skins before pressing. A cool fermentation, in stainless steel, combined with Matuas own yeast selection helps to enhance the pungent natural aromas we know and love in Sauvy. Following fermentation, the wine was left to sit on lees before final blending and then making its way into bottle for you to enjoy.” – Matua Valley
